(Annabella Pov)

We were both sitting next to eachother as Mr. Massimo sitting next to us and looking down at us, having my arms crossed as I looked over at Giulia who was the more upset about this...

"I don't want you doing the race again. You get so upset. And even if you were going to team up with Annabella, I still don't want you both getting hurt"

"Papa, por favore, we have a team now."

"There's also the entry fee. Money is tight.."

"We'll work double shifts at the pescheria. Whatever you need!"

"I can't sell what I don't have...what I need us more fish in my net." He explains to us, I look over to Giulia as she looked away sadly as I pat her back and Mr. Massimo apologized to us, mainly to Giulia

"Um, excuse me?" Looking over to Luca who spoke up

"We could help.." he tells us as Mr. Massimo turns to Luca and Alberto

"You know fish?"

"Oh, we? We know lots of fish. " Alberto smirks to us, he looks over to me and smirks. Making me blush but smile widely to him.

"Huh.." Mr. Massimo looks over to them unsure until Giulia gets off our shared chair and looks up her father

"Can this face lose?" Giulia says, making a smiley face with her eyes blinking. Mr. Massimo looks down at Giulia before Giulia elbow my side softly, telling me to do the same

We both make a cute face to her father as he sighs heavily.

"You want to work? I'll put you to work." He tells the boys, making them pumped up and happy as I get off the chair and give them high fives for success!

Luca high fives me and Alberto does so the same happily

"Oh, grazie papa!" Giulia says happily to her father hugging him

Smiling happily knowing we're going to work hard in order to get in the race. We hear their cat growling over to Luca, making Luca back off fearfully over the cat stare at him. Oh no.

"Machiavelli! Don't you...No..Machiavelli!!"

(Few minutes later at their cat attacking and scratching both Luca and Ablerto)

We both walk out of the house back to the front yard. Luca and Ablerto panting heavily over what happened

Walking beside Alberto, making sure he wasn't too scratched badly

"I'm so sorry about the cat..I don't know what got into him." Giulia apologized to them both as I take out a band aid to Alberto. He looks over to it in his hands, unsure what it is

"Its fine. We're gonna head back to, uh..."

"Oh! Do you guys need a place to stay?" Giulia asks them and turns to her tree house.

We all climbed up to the tree house, it was a very nice view of the stars above us

"Cool..." Luca said looking around

"This is my--"

" Your Hideout!" Alberto tells her and looks over to me grinning

"Huh. Yeah. My hideout. Buonanotte, boys. Let's go Annabella" Giulia always goodnight to the two boys, I smile over to them. Mainly Alberto and waves

"Buonanotte Luca, Buonanotte A-Alberto.."

"B..Buonaton...goodnight!" Alberto unable to say it back, he chuckles sheepishly, I giggle as I nod understanding what he meant.

Getting inside Giulia's room, I take a peek outside to see Alberto and Luca talking. I sigh happily seeing them both happy.

"Would you quit staring at your crush and sleep early? We got work tomorrow!" Giulia tells me, feeling my cheeks flush as I run over to her covering her mouth

"D-don't say it so loudly, he might hear you!" I shush her as she grins

"Jeez, I doupt it. Come on, let's get some shut eye!" She tells me as she lays back, laying back onto my sleeping bag.

(Few hours later...)

Slowly I felt my body relax into the warmth of my pillow but, was unable to sleep.

Why shouldn't I? My heart was beating outloud as I felt ever so excited and happy. Am I having another crush again? I-i can be having another crush, I just got rejected and heart broken by my old crush. And now I'm having another one? No way

But than to say...

Getting up and I slowly walk over to the window, it was 12 at night as Giulia was asleep already.

Carefully creeping the window open, peeking through the two window to see Luca and Alberto asleep. Feeling my lips curve to a smile, I sigh dreamingly and whisper to myself

"I guess this isn't so bad than I thought..."

(In the morning)

Waking up early, Giulia was the first to wake up and getting herself ready. Putting on my shoes, already getting myself ready. She turns on the radio music, putting military horn music in the mornings and opens the window wide open and telling them to wake up

"Huh? Hmm, uh..hey Annabella? Did you see them both fall? Because.." Giulia asks me, walking over to the window seeing no one at her tree house

Looking down and finding the two boys already wide awake, I smile down at them

"Buongiorno you two! How was your sleep?" I asks them as they smiled over to us

"Oh! There you are!"

"Hehe, Buongiorno." Luca greeted us

"Come on, we should get down so we can make our delivery. Help me train my record in time so I would know how much I improved!" She tells me, grabbing my arm as we both make it downstairs

As we do, Mr. Massimo was there talking to Alberto and Luca

"Giulietta, Annabella! You make the--"

"We're on it! Already makin' 'em! Ciao! Let's go Annabella!" Giulia tells me hoping onto her bike. I smile over to the boys as I give them a high five as they return it

"You'll both do great! Good luck!" I tell them walking over to the cart

"Don't worry, we got this" Alberto tells me, giving me a smirk and thumbs up as Luca only smile back to me

Feeling my cheeks blush but I smile back to Alberto, i sit back onto the cart as Giulia was already paddling away. Waving them both

"See you two later!" I yell to them

"Hey Annabella?" Giulia calls for my name, turning my head over to her with a hum

"Its a little creepy that you kept on staring at Alberto at night but hey, I don't judge!"

"G-GIULIETTA!" I yell and blush furiously in pure embarrassment, she laughs outloud and starts biking into town
